A spring worth visiting, just for the name alone as this might be one of the quirkiest roadside oddities in Pennsylvania. The structure itself is worthy of some photography. There is no connection to Juan Ponce de León, likely just added by the designer to entice people into another world.

A small rumor is that the spring is not a natural spring and just a golf course irrigation system leak.

"The Fountain of Youth is actually a springhouse located along Kummer Road. Like several projects located within North Park, the Fountain of Youth was built in 1938 as a project of the Works Projects Administration, which was a program put in place by the New Deal." - (visit link)
